St Leonard's Chapel Burial Ground
Archaeology
A conjectured keeill site. Kermode states that lintel graves have been found about 90 metres north of the church 'in a paddock call Croit Cabbal Leonard', which means the croft of Leonard's Chapel. It is possible that this refers to the site of a forgotten keeill. The position indicated by Kermode's map falls on a very steep, wooded slope. This is an improbable site for a burial ground, and a search revealed no trace of graves or foundations in the surrounding open agricultural land.
